Abstract
Background: The temporalis muscle flap (TMF) has emerged as a popular option in head and neck reconstruction in the last
decade. The purpose of this study was to conduct a literature review of the temporalis muscle flap.
Methods: We have conducted a search on PubMed using specific keywords to identify all articles related to the Temporalis
Muscle Flap. We reviewed the modifications of the Temporalis Muscle Flap, its indications, contraindications, complications,
and outcomes.
Results: After application of the inclusion criteria and reading the abstract. A five articles were included for the review and the
most commonly used site was the Temporo-Mandibular Joint as interpositional material after gap arthroplasty. Functional and
aesthetic outcomes were judged to be excellent.
Conclusion: From The Temporalis Muscle Flap is a versatile reconstructive option for the treatment of ankylosis, as it is highly
vascular flap with close proximity to the site of surgery. Recent studies have explored new applications for this flap, such as in
skull base reconstruction.
